## RPL DeFi - Rocket Pool DeFi Market Opportunities

### Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?

regexbuster

### What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of?

The Rocket Pool DeFi document ([www.RPLdefi.com](http://www.RPLdefi.com)) has been updated with new market rates and opportunities bi-weekly for the last two months. After the rates were updated, the information was shared on X and Discord. Updating the sheet is the main going of the project but a thread of the rates and the top opportunity is posted to X, and cross posted in Discord, to showcase the work done on the sheet.

Yes

| Community | Education on DeFi opportunities and How to take advantage of them within the RP community |

## Costs

### How much USD $ is the applicant requesting be awarded to the recipient?

Previously the updates and the X thread were awarded ~$50 per update. I am requesting for the past 5 updates (Dec 14th, Dec 28th, Jan 11th, Jan 25th, and Feb 8th). This would work out to $250 for the whole updates (~8.5 RPL at time of posting)

### Is the applicant requesting RPL or LUSD?

RPL

## Conflict of Interest

### Does the person or persons requesting the retrospective award have any conflicts of interest to disclose?

I am not aware of any conflicts of interest.
